On Valentine's Daythe millionaire owner presented his lavish gift at a red balloon ceremony.
The mega hunt was gift wrapped in a matching boot stripe: a narrow line running the length of the boat.
The floating Taj Mahal was reportedly a gift from Dutch tech millionaire Rudolph Booker to his wife in 2015.
The Kiss was the brainchild of boat company Feadship and fulfilled the owner's dreams of a yacht of “fantastic quality”.
But in addition to the beautiful sentiment, the yacht also has luxurious amenities.
At the owner's request, the yacht was painted in a unique metallic black color, which required painstaking effort.
Feadship CEO Henk de Vries called it “the most complicated object ever painted in this way.”
The yacht company developed a new mixing machine that allowed the team to spray paint on the exterior in one go.
Kiss is also believed to be the first trial run of synthetic gas-to-liquids diesel on a yacht.
The interior of the yacht has been carefully designed to suit the taste of the owners.
The private deck functions a cozy salon that makes a perfect romantic setup.
The penthouse style cabin offers beautiful ocean views.
And the massive hatch in the cabin ceiling slides open to reveal the blue sky, satisfying “the owner's love of fresh air.”
The hut's terrace offers an intimate open-air lounge where the couple can enjoy their breakfast.
It is also equipped with a dining table for family and friends, and a parasol that provides shelter from the scorching sun.

With the family-oriented layout in mind, Kiss has plenty of space for the kids, and even cabins for the babysitter and a teacher.
The children's suite functions a bunk bed to free up floor space for the kids to play on.
There is a desk and the furniture is covered with fabrics that are 'easy to clean'.
Interior design studio RWD has woven 'airy' accents throughout the room with decorative artwork.
The owner's suite extends to a sundeck, complete with a hot tub with 360-degree views.
Meanwhile, the transom features a hydraulic side ladder and a platform that can be converted into a staircase or a diving board.
And for the safety of children, it can be easily lowered into the water, causing a leak swimming path with railings around it.
Before the owners left at sunset for romantic trips around the world, the man concluded the loving ceremony with his last words.
He said: “My wife had a dream to build a fantastic quality yacht.
“I can't thank you enough for making her dream come true.”
